Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Metairie, LA

I believe in empathy and taking a realistic but human approach to counseling. We all fight battles behind the scenes and are deserving of grace and humility.

You may have spent so much time surviving that you've forgotten what it feels like to truly feel at peace. Anxiety, depression, unresolved trauma, anger, or painful life experiences can leave you emotionally exhausted, disconnected from yourself, and wondering if things will ever get easier. You don't have to carry those burdens alone. I partner with individuals navigating anxiety, ADHD, depression, stress management, and anger management so they can regain emotional balance, strengthen their relationships, and move forward with greater confidence and hope. Working with adolescents, adults, and seniors, I strive to create a compassionate, judgment free space where you feel genuinely heard, respected, and empowered to create lasting change.

With over 30 years of experience partnering with clients from all walks of life, I have learned one fundamental truth: the power to heal, grow, and transform already lives within you. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a certified Master Practitioner of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), my goal is to help you tap into that potential. I don't believe therapy is something done to you it is a collaborative journey we take together. If you are ready to actively participate in your own growth, I am here to provide the expertise, tools, and unwavering support to help you succeed.

Starting therapy can be a big step, and you don’t have to do it alone. I believe everyone deserves a supportive space to be themselves and work through life’s challenges.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience helping adolescents, adults, and older adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, grief, life transitions, family conflict, serious mental illness, and developmental and intellectual disabilities. I’ve supported people facing both everyday stress and more complex mental health concerns.

Therapy isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about gaining insight, building resilience, and creating meaningful change at a pace that feels right. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply need extra support, I’m here to help.

Life can feel overwhelming when challenges begin piling up faster than you can manage them. Whether you're struggling with substance use, ADHD, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, or the stress of trying to keep everything together, therapy can provide a space to slow down, gain perspective, and move forward with greater confidence. I work with adolescents, adults, seniors, and couples who are feeling stuck, emotionally exhausted, or unsure how to create lasting change. Many of my clients come to therapy after trying to solve everything on their own, only to find themselves repeating the same patterns. My goal is to provide a supportive environment where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful changes. Together, we'll identify your strengths, clarify your goals, and build practical tools that help you create a healthier and more fulfilling life.

After spending a decade working with youth, I realized the best part of my work were the meaningful, life-changing conversations. Thus, I went back to school for a Masters in Counseling from LSU. Now, I spend most of my days helping people with anxiety, depression, trauma, and OCD to rebuild a better life.

I graduated with a BS degree in Psychology at Louisiana State University. I have a Master's Degree from Southern University in Mental Health Counseling. I have over 27 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults

I have an undergraduate and master's degree in social work. I am a licensed clinical social worker who obtained three years postmaster level supervision to obtain my license in order to practice mental health therapy independently. I love working with individuals to help make their lives more satisfying.

Currently working towards a Doctorate in Psychology (PsyD). I am Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Louisiana, Minnesota, and Georgia. My specialties include mental health, substance abuse, depression, anxiety grief, divorce, and stress. My work background includes, EAP Counselor, Alcohol Drug Social Work Supervisor, Program Manager. Licensed Master Social Worker - Advanced Practitioner, Licensed Chemical Dependency Specialist, and Licensed Marriage and Family Specialist.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Doctorate in Social Work, and I bring both clinical expertise and real life understanding into the therapy space. My professional background includes years of direct clinical practice as well as leadership roles in complex, high stress systems, including serving as a Mental Health Director. These experiences have shaped my ability to support individuals who are navigating pressure, responsibility, and emotional overwhelm while still being expected to function at a high level.

I work best with clients who are strong on the outside but struggling internally. Many of the people I support are women, mothers, professionals, caregivers, and helpers who are used to showing up for others while neglecting their own emotional needs. I have a particular passion for working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, imposter syndrome, burnout, life transitions, relationship stress, identity concerns, and trauma related to past or ongoing stressors.

Therapy with me is not about having all the answers. It is about learning how to trust yourself, set healthy boundaries, and show up for your life with more compassion and confidence.

I’m a client-centered therapist with more than 14 years of experience working as a mental health provider, addictions counselor, and group therapy facilitator. I work with adults and older teens who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, substance use, recovery, or major life transitions.

I understand that reaching out for therapy can feel uncomfortable or overwhelming, especially when life already feels heavy. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and supported without judgment. I believe therapy works best when there is a genuine connection, and I strive to build that connection through honesty, compassion, and trust.

I’m passionate about helping people better understand themselves, develop healthier coping skills, and move toward lasting emotional wellness. Whether you are facing a difficult season, feeling stuck, or simply looking for support and guidance, I’m committed to helping you navigate those challenges with greater clarity and confidence.
